Land of Wonders , Charms and Contrasts

Pahang, with a land area of 35,960 square kilometers is the largest state in Peninsular Malaysia. Pahang boasts some 210 kilometers of splendid South China Sea coastline on its eastern flank and a mountainous-forested interior.

Ancient tropical rainforests dominate the state and culminate in Taman Negara, Malaysia 's largest National park. The five major hill resorts of Malaysia , Cameron Highlands , Genting Highlands , Fraser's Hill, Bukit Tinggi and Janda Baik are within the state and so is the Peninsula 's highest peak, Gunong Tahan, standing at 2,187 meters above sea level.

Pahang has a population of about 1.5 million. The majority are Malays, followed by Chinese, Indian and Indigenous peoples. These diverse groups provide a colourful background to the cultural mix and harmony that could be easily seen in their daily life.

Pahang offers the visitor an adventure with a difference indeed. It has a couple of international holiday resorts that sit pretty on the hills enveloped by the world's oldest Tropical Rain Forest . The more adventurous would surely be spoilt for choice with activities ranging from bird watching to white water rafting and four-wheel drive adventure to big game fishing. Even the picturesque fishing villages dotting its coastline would invite the photographer in you to map for that perfect postcard pictures.
